(Real intro at 1:15) It's the Fourth of July which means so much to so many people. Not only is it America's birthday, but it's also The Trophy Room's as well. On this episode, hosts Joseph, and Kyle talk about the rumored Google Console, and what Google's entrance into game means for PlayStation, and Xbox. Whether or not cloud gaming could be the future of the video game industry. Funko is getting into breakfast cereal? Overwatch's new character has us in awe, Amy Hennig leaving EA, and so much more.
The Epic Games Store is giving away two Styx games this week.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
lmfaooo 😂
Cloud gaming will always be an alternative not the primary method
they all pretty much want to do some streaming because it saves on cost when you dont need to make systems and all of that so more profit thats why they are streaming now to test it all out and work to improve it more but when it comes down to it the gamers will decide if thats what they want or not
I'll say this again. Some system has to be running the game, I want that system. Besides, with 4k HDR, there is no freaking way internet connections could handle even the data rate of a 1080p signal without major compression(1GBit/s can't even handle it, direct device communication will always look and run better.
LUL 🤢🤢🤢
